Thanks for the suggestion, Akemi and Mark.  When I try to use the ELRepo packages, kmod-nvidia conflicts with module-init-tools.

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
